A Message from the Alumni Council President

Headshot of Jim Sailer '90

Friends,

My name is Jim Sailer, member of the class of 1990, and I am proud to serve as the President of the Swarthmore College Alumni Council, which leads the College’s Alumni Association. All alumni of Swarthmore College are members of the Alumni Association.

The role of the Alumni Council is to serve as ambassadors for the College to Swarthmore's 20,000+ alumni. In a time when institutions of higher education face many challenges, our goal is to find ways to support Swarthmore in meaningful and lasting ways.

By supporting the College, we hope to preserve Swarthmore as a unique institution, and to help ensure current and future students can access the same exceptional teaching and learning that we did. We believe deeply in the power of diversity and inclusivity.

You will find Alumni Council members hosting monthly SwatTalks and regional SwatMeets, attending and leading sessions at Alumni Weekend and Garnet Weekend, and connecting with alumni at events and programs across the country.

If you have questions or ideas for the Alumni Council, please email me at ACPresident@swarthmore.edu.  

Best regards,

Jim Sailer ‘90
President, Swarthmore College Alumni Council
